Simple answer:
DNA → transcription → RNA → translation → polypeptide → folding/post‑translational modification → functional protein.

Brief explanation:
- Transcription: a gene’s DNA sequence is copied into RNA (mRNA).
- RNA processing (in eukaryotes): capping, splicing, polyadenylation produce mature mRNA.
- Translation: ribosomes read mRNA codons to synthesize a polypeptide chain.
- Folding and post‑translational modifications convert the polypeptide into a functional protein that carries out essential cellular tasks.
